Walbusch B5 adjustable, Bic Chrome Platinum blade, shave 2 Razor was set on 3 1/2. At that setting it has plenty of blade, the blade being angled definitely mellows out what should have otherwise been much more aggressive of a shave. I got bit a few times something I've never had with any other slant. Unlike some other slants the blade it is not twisted to get the slant but sits straight on a diagonal with the cap being the guide for the proper angle. End result close but no BBS cigar for the shave. Next use I'll open up the adjustment all the way.

SOTD : 5th September 2020. Shaving recipe for today. Prep: Warm shower / Nivea Men ~ DEEP CLEAN Shower Gel. Pre: Cold wet flannel to my face. Pears ~ Transparent Soap Bar / Wilko Men's Shaving Oil. Brush: Yaqi 26mm Rainbow Brown Synthetic. (Faux Horse) Face Lather. Soap: Razorock "What The Puck? !" ~ Lime Burst. Blade: Treet ~ Black Carbon. (1) Razor: Parker ~ 55sl Semi-Slant. Post: Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade lavender eucalyptus, +Tea Tree essential Oils Witch Hazel Mixture./ Duru Lemon Cologne. Creightons ~ Sensitive PSB. Greetings, A new shave set up to start the weekend...Last week i reacquainted myself with the Treet dura sharp blade and was pleasantly surprised how good the shaves i had with them.This week i'm carry on the Treet Carbon blade another DE blade i've only used on the odd occasion since i've had them. As a general rule with a Carbon blade i use them for two shaves then i' discard them to my blade bin... I know i could possibly get more than two shaves from them but for what they cost it's hardly worth taking the unnecessary risk just to get a extra shave. The Parker 55sl Semi-Slant /Treet carbon blade worked really well together. I'm amazed with myself that i haven't used the Treet carbon blades more often that's what happens when you have a vast assortment of DE blades and reach for your regular favourites you completely forget you have other blades in your DE blade collection that are equally as good or if not better...'I live and learn something new with every shave'. A pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report. Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive PSB. My face is feeling super smooth and smelling divine. Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
